Visual aspect: gleaming, with an orangey-honey colour. Nose: powerful, distinct and elegant, with aromas of prune, crystallised fruit and slight hints of flowers and chocolate. Palate: a very warm sensation (60.5°vol, not reduced), but suppleness too with very light flavours of cooked fruit. It is expressive and full of flavour. Comment: superb intensity thanks to the richness of its full-body. This Petite Champagne with great character aims to be powerful, but is well balanced and airy.
